@citizenkeit:

Honestly, i don’t know. Maybe it’s best to do a clean install.

@Malfhok:

I hope it works ok. I made some basic tests, but i don’t know how it works in a real environment.

This is a test

I upgraded bbpress after upgrading my wordpress site to the latest version (2.5.1). The install complained that there were already forums/threads in the database, but said the install went OK. The problem I’m having, however, is that when I go to the forums, I get a t_string error referring to line 20 of the bb_config.php file.

This line is the prefix used for the tables.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

So, I’m guessing that it thinks it is a new install instead of merely an upgrade. How do I get the updated version to simply read in the existing forums and threads?

Thank you so much for any help. These are busy forums and there will be limited patience with this problem.

I have the latest version of bbpress installed to my own server, and it is integrated with wordpress (also the latest).

I added one new forum a few weeks ago, but today I tried and it gave me the error: “Something strange happened. Try reloading the page.”

I did reload the page several times, but it still doesn’t work! I am completely stuck…I can’t add new forums or categories…please HELP!

These plugins I have installed and activated:

Use Display Name

Wordpress Integration

Allow Images

Avatar Upload

bbPress Avatars

bbPress Signatures

That’s all…anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance!!!!

You’re not alone!

I just upgraded my site to mu1.5.1 and bbpress to the latest release and now cookies wont work. I’ve tried everything, all the ways listed here and on other sites and no luck.

Its probably because wp2.5 changed cookie styles so the old way doesnt work anymore. I know because I tried my old config and it didnt do anything.

Hello!

I searched through the forums and wasn’t able to find anything quite like what I’m getting, so I figured I’d post.

I just did a fresh install of the latest versions of wordpress and bbpress over the past few days. I installed and tested several plugins for wordpress and started doing some minor css updates, and exported/imported my blog posts from my old server to the new server – but haven’t done much with bbpress except to integrate with wordpress.

I have PHP 5.2.5, MySQL 4.1.22, and Linux on a shared server. Everything’s on the same domain (well, an IP address until I get things situated on my new server) and there are no subdomains involved. WordPress uses the root www folder, and bbress uses www/forum/. WordPress and bbpress have separate databases, but all the secret keys, etc. are all setup to match and everything is configured per the install instructions.

It took several attempts to get bbpress installed because it was giving me an database error at the last step stating that I may need to do a fresh install – even though it *was* a fresh install. After several attempts, I decided to try it without the wordpress integration, and that seemed to do the trick. I had assumed that everything was ok after that and it was just a minor hiccup during the installation…?

All that said…

– Login/logout works for each user so far.

– Registration works.

– When I’m signed in as “Admin” I can get to the Admin panel.

However:

– when I try to view the “Admin” account profile, I get a wordpress 404 at www/forum/profile/admin.

– Clicking on any topics or forums (I believe I created them before the integration?) even a view of topics with no replies I get the same 404.

– On the other hand, when logged in as my other user account “elorg” and trying to view that account’s profile page, it redirects me to a wordpress blog entry… that happens to have “elorg” as the first few characters in the subject…?

– And… When creating a new thread titled “test” as my “Admin” account – I was able to post it, but was redirected to… a wordpress entry who’s subject starts with “test” as the first few characters…? That can’t be a coincidence, right? So…

– I logged in as my “elorg” account for good measure, and created a new thread with a one word subject that I know I have a blog post

– When going back to the forum and attempting to open any of the new threads, it forwards me to the same journal entries as it did when I tried to create the threads.

Any ideas? At this point, I might just try to start from scratch and see what happens…

[elorgwhee]

I received a very similar error (something about the database and needing to try to reinstall) when trying a fresh install and integrating wordpress at the same time. I retried it a few times – each time it would fail, and if I tried to access the forum location it would bring me to the installation script again.

Eventually I went through the installation without integrating wordpress and I that’s what ultimately worked. I then went through the wordpress integration after the install.

Latest wordpress & bbpress, on Linux, PHP 5.2.5, MySQL 4.1.22.

i’ve downloaded the pot file for branches 0.9 and translated this file.

the trunk are update but this localization is for the latest bbpresss release.

i’ve tested with a 0.9.2 installation.

[migpilot]

I am well stumped, I really am

I have read as much as I can find on issues with integration but still no love.

The setup:

Server IIS.

Latest WP.

Latest BB.

ALL secret codes match.

Config files have the suggested added lines of code.

Priv mappings are all set correctly.

So far though, I can get only one account to auto login into wp from bb, and that’s only if I log in through BB only, ie. if I login through WP, it does not carry over to BB but does from BB to WP. This user incidentally has an account setup both in BB and WP.

Any other BB account can not log into WP, regardless of being logged into BB first.

Any ideas out there? I’m loving both new versions, but I have close to 2000 users that I would like to allow contribution privs to WP with their existing BB accounts – it seems WP does not see any of the BB users.

Cheers!

Hi All,

I upgraded our forums to .0.9.0.2 after testing a new theme etc. extensively on a fresh install elsewhere. After all was worked out, I went in to update the existing forum and while it sort of works (for some reason the well tested .9.0.2 theme is not working), the server is returning “PHP has encountered a Stack overflow” whenever you click any topic on the index page. Could it be a server mapping issue?

I also upgraded WordPress on the same DB and no issues at all.

Any ideas?

PS: The upgrade reported no problems)

[ekitel]

yes there are definitely posts in the forums, and when I subscribe to the feeds with Firefox I do get a list of permalinks to the posts.

also I am using the private forums plugin, I don’t see anything about it effecting RSS in the docs though it does mention that in the latest version RSS is ‘fixed’

this is the main forum feed: http://gradactingalumni.org/blogs/forums/rss.php

[bobbyh]

Yeah, assuming the themes have consistent HTML, in the header, put something like this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php if ($forum_id == 1) bb_stylesheet_uri(); elseif ($forum_id == 2) echo '/my-templates/kakumei-blue/style.css'; ?>" type="text/css" />

I didn’t test this, but I think that code should work.

[Oscar]

I’m looking for a plugin for bbPress that shows the latest posts on the forum front page. With the default theme this would be shown as snippets (text of the actual post) below the Tag Cloud/Hot Tags ‘widget’.

I can’t seem to find a plugin, except the one that does just this on your WP installation if you’ve integrated with WP. Does this exist for bb as well?

[Sam Bauers]

so10 did some work on anonymous posting for core a while back. But it was never 100% completed or perhaps never 100% tested. I’m not sure.

[mdata]

Well, now. Isn’t that special!!. It works perfectly.

Thank you!

BTW, I do have the latest version of WordPress installed (2.5.1) so I do not think this is included yet, but if those encountering (and noticing) the issue find your fix, it could not be easier.

Thank you, again.

[mrhoratio]

Add this line to your wp-config.php file.

define(‘SECRET_KEY’, ‘Your bbPress Secret Key’);

Replace Your bbPress Secret Key with your bbPress secret key. I believe the developers already know about this. By the way, make sure you have the latest WordPress installation. I believe secret key is a new functionality in WordPress 2.5.

Hi,

just did an upgrade to my bbpress forum and tested my plugins:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/moderator-new-post-notification/

and

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/auto-add-favorites/

both are fine with version 0.9…

[Bloggsbe]

@sambauers

Yes, I know, but the one I used in bb-twitter is not so “bad”. I just hooked in to the show avatar function, and made sure that it only shows on the profile page, and no other pages. And that is just to show the latest tweet from that user.

The admin/profile part is using the right hooks so the user can control the twittername and chose to show or not to show the tweet!

I really hope there will be some hooks/filters for the profile page one day

IPSource,

The short answer is you have to convert your WordPress theme to bbPress by hand.

I’m currently doing the same thing you’re trying to do on my WordPress blog with bbPress also. It pretty much means taking your WordPress theme and going through each file one by one and converting them to bbPress. So you have to strip out the WordPress tags and functions in the theme files and replace them with bbPress versions. There’s no list of equivalent tags, so translating them is just gonna take a lot of trial and error and testing.

@ mykes

I double checked, the latest stable version of WordPress MU uses the old password hashing and cookie types.

You can dumb down bbPress to work with that version of WordPress MU by using both of these bbPress plugins.

It would be easier to disable the auto-link entirely for a post when is detected than to parse it out, if that will do. Somehow I missed the original question was scrolling on code, sorry about that but as you found it’s very simple CSS.

Disabling auto-link is something like: (untested)

remove_filter('post_text', 'make_clickable');
add_filter('post_text', 'make_clickable_if_not_code');
function make_clickable_if_not_code($text) {
if (strpos($text,'<code>')===false) {return make_clickable($text);}
return $text;
}

return $text;

In addition to the above, the following seem to work properly

This also happens to me! However, I’ve never looked into it…

I just looked, and bbPress uses newlines to indicate breaks. This is parsed into <p>’s by a filter upon display. However, the edit textarea shows the unparsed text with just the newlines, and this gets mangled by tinymce.

If you set this tinymce config value, though, it will turn newlines into br’s, which should fix this problem for new posts:

* http://wiki.moxiecode.com/index.php/TinyMCE:Configuration/convert_newlines_to_brs

I just tested this, and it works on new posts! (It won’t work on old posts…)

[chilledfresh]

I’m using the latest version of tinyMCE in my bbPress forum, but have run into an issue while editing posts. This problem occurs in both TinyMCE AND FCKeditor, so it must be related to how bbPress handles these types of plugins.

I can post new topics fine and everything works. However, when I go in to edit a post the WYSIWYG editor loses all <p> tags, forcing everything to appear on a single line. All other formatting is retained correctly by the editor.

Any idea on how I can fix this problem?

The proper header for the page apparently is not being sent until there is a logged in user.

I’ll see if I can reproduce this. Is it in kakumei theme?

Update: this works fine on my setup:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/put-your-test-posts-here?bbtheme=kakumei#post-302

You might have something sending whitespace before all the headers can be sent so the page encoding gets broken until the user is logged in. Are there any errors visible when you do a “view source” or any javascript errors?
